Marine spent all her money on gacha even when she was unemployed [Hololive] 

Words of wisdom from our 17 year old pirate captain. I hope she's able to stay clean while surrounded by all the hololive gacha addicts.

I have this co-worker here in japan who only eats 3pc of bread per day, that bread cost is like 108 yen per pack. when my other co-worker asked him why he always eats only bread at that time he answered: "because I want to roll gacha in my game" my co-workers that time was shocked because he added that even in his home he only eat bread and nothing more just to roll gacha.

It's almost impossible not to like Senchou, hearing these kinds of starkly honest admissions. And to be clear, this is way beyond gacha. There's simply a certain personality type -- and a fairly common one at that -- that is intrinsically addictive, that simply cannot self-regulate. And it's not about how much you spend, it's about indulging regardless of bad financial circumstances. For myself, I never got into gatcha, but I've needed to break a couple of video game CDs to get my priorities straight again. It's a feeling that's hard to convey to those who have never been addicted to something.

that's why gachas and pachinko are so thriving there. Crazy amount of addicts

That ending was the best one so far, you outdid yourself shabz 👏

Like some wise duck in the past said. "They're just a card"

Well what Senchou's said is basically true, my parents also drilled me that no matter what on any circumstances borrow money from other people. If you really had to, borrow from your family, but never on any loan sharks (because it's dangerous) or friends (you can lose them). And the matter with spending is that probably you shouldn't regret it but take it as a memory and lesson. And dang my reaction is the same as Shabby when I heard Senchou's spending on gacha---- Thanks as always for the eye opener clip Shabby!

I got out of Gachahell half thanks to Senchou. Now I'm in this rabbit hole though lmao

This hits me real hard, because I was exactly the same way that she describes. I used to play a Disney Heroes a ton when it first came out because I liked the characters and it had a fun community. And just like she said, newer content comes out every month or so, and you figure "just a one-time thing, I'll drop $50 and see what happens, just like buying a normal game." And then it turns into a one-time $500 purchase, and then you do that once or twice a month, then once or twice a week, all to get the latest characters and max them out. Before you know it, you've got $200 in your account and need to make student loan payment, car payment, phone bill, gas for the car, things like that. I played the game for about a year like that, staying within the top 20 players. I know it was more than $10k because I stopped counting at that point. Looking back I'm pretty sure I came close to Marine's estimate. I finally realized that each game update would have a new character, but the character I liked was nerfed and didn't seem as good suddenly. Then they came out with other matches that had additional grinding and currency involved, and I felt like the game started to turn into a chore if I didn't keep spending more and more money. I told the guild I was playing with that I wanted to quit, and while they were sad to see me go I uninstalled the game and never went back. Now if a game has gacha in it with real money I stay far far away. That Princess Connect game that EN was advertising a few months ago? Soon as I saw it was gacha I left. That anime girl horse racing game that Miko and others play? It looks fun, but no way. I have a lot more in savings now and could afford to make extra payments on my car, get new furniture, and even move out of my parent's house and into an apartment. Thank you for reading my blog, but I feel a lot lighter to finally admit it.

2 million yen to gacha, glad she was able to quit though. I don't think I have any tendencies to get addicted to spending but this is why I free to play every gacha. Spend in moderation folks, be careful and remember, you'll be able to go on without that one pull. It'll be ok. Thanks as always for the not so shabby subs also lmao at the search results.

Seeing your hard work of months evaporate in gacha purchases... I desire this to no one. Get out of gacha hell early, guys. Sunk cost fallacy and FOMO are real. I lived through it. It might seem it's not much with those piecemeal purchases, but oh boy do they add up without you realizing it.

Despite gambling being illegal in Japan, lottery and gacha are massively prevalent and completely "normal" in their culture. As Marine talked about there are images of garbage sacks or rooms filled completely with hundreds of CDs just because each copy gives a single lottery entry to attend the concert, a huge waste both environmentally and financially

This is honestly one of my favourite videos because of its message.

Feelsbad when u blow through your savings and lose that sense of security. Even if the purchase is wiser or worth it sometimes its just anxiety inducing.

Feels like every unhealthy gacha addiction story always ends with the person completely quitting the game. As an ex-addict who spent thousands as well, I found it easier to just go full f2p than entirely quit the game I've invested years of time and money into

It's really hard to get out of gacha hole. I did the same thing as Marine, to completely quit the game. What cooled me down was light novels. A little regret but hey, it was a happy memory.

Gacha = gambling, repeat after me lmao the search suggestions, you never fail to make me laugh Shabby

Yeah that Loan Shark manga is fucking depressing as all hell holy shit. I think I gave myself super depression reading the first few chapters.

LMAO The person who donated with 分かった, scaring poor senchou lmaoo

Perhaps we're also buying happy memories now?

Thank you for the subs. These are precious stories.

Marine actually talk a lot about life lesson sadly my japanese still bad thank you shabby sub i could know what she talk about

god damn! almost 20k in gacha pulls?!? I don't think even my video game collection is worth that much and I've been collecting games since the NES days. I hope Marine has discovered the word restraint by now, I also play gacha games but I've never paid for a gacha pull in my life, If i get the character I want with the free pulls or the few premium coins the game gives you, it feels good, but if not well though shit for me i guess. Oh well, at least it seems like she uses the supacha to fund big projects like connected fantasia, her new outfit, and the Unison MV. Thanks for the translation shabby 👍🏻

the search history at the end got me good lol

I actually paused the video to Google how much that was; but turns out you already did it for me. You the VIP Shabby

*"You guys are living bright and righteous lives, right?"* Come on Senchou, we're pirates lol Poor Senchou, suffering from success from being thrown too many SCs xD Buying happiness or is it buying PNG waifu/husbando? 😂 I never really use money to gacha, so I'm always wondering whether people can't really stop from doing it. It sounds like a really serious addiction. It's scary..

I'm so lucky that i don't need any money-burning addiction to have a happy and fulfilling life.

I am financially recovering from my latest gacha banner an I can relate so much that it hurts.

Any time I lend someone money, I only do it if I can live with it never being paid back. I have lost zero friendships over money, btw.

God 2 000 000 ¥ in mobile game that’s really a lot

Marine spent over $18,000 on Gacha. That is insane.

That sweet, sweet dopamine release is addicting, so I understand. It's great. But like all things, everything in moderation. The dangerous thing isn't so much that you're whaling in a game, but that you're whaling in a game that you may not even be playing in a few months. (coming from a dude who already spent thousands)

must admit i dont really understand gacha, with vtubrs at least there's a real person in there somewhere anywy great shabby subs as always mon petit translateur, arigatou beaucoup.

The best way to rid yourself of gacha addiction is to remind yourself that the thing you're attempting to win has no real world value. It's usually just some pixels. When you objectively see that pulling for gacha is a game where you only lose money, it takes the fun out of it.

Mamarine sounds nice but I'm too broke so I can't get re-educated in the first place... Welp. Gotta make money first then.

20k?!?!?! Holy shit. Maybe I should just stop playing gacha games from now on. And here I thought dropping $100 was already very bad ....sheesh

So... er... I played FGO for about 4 years-ish now. And, yeah, I spent about $25,000 on that game. Still playing and spending, but the spending has gone way down per year.

I've heard that playing kancolle arcade costs the players 150usd a day and it's something people would play daily at least in the before times

There's this chinese gacha game I play everyday, and man... My priorities are really weird right now

and keep in mind that she is not a whale like Suisei and Fubuki...

The only game i ever gave money to were LOL and planetside 2. Well planetside is a banger and the 5€ i gave them were absolutely worth it, but i will always regret to have given 50 bucks to lol. They just do not deserve them.

Rookie numbers.

It be like that

18000 USD on Gacha?!?! good thing you managed to stop

I just lost the 50/50 on genshin but really want raiden shogun but can't without spending more money then I should gacha is rough. Edit:Well 10 pulls later and I got her anyway 0.6% feels good

I feel her i spent like 5k on gatchas and it doesn't even feel bad until you count it all up and you realize you could buy a used car with that .jpeg money

I never spent a single Dollar on Gacha and never will. For me it's same as if you were burning the money or throwing it out of the window. Thats why I will never send superchats to the hardcore Gacha addicts, like for example Sui-chan. I really like her, but if the money I would give her just get's used for Gacha, then that's just pointless.

I remember back in the day when gatcha mobile games first got "mainstream". I posted some clips from seminar about loot box on some facebook gatcha games group. I've got instaban. the wrong isn't in the developers. the wrong is within our self.

And this, is why you should not support games that have predatory microtransaction mechanics like lootboxes or card packs in any way. Buying into those, you are gambling, the game and the company behind it wants to pretend that it's not gambling, but it is. These "surprise mechanics" will not give you anything of value in return, and should be viewed with contempt.

7:45 I thought for sure Shabby was gonna include a pic of Astel somewhere in the background, lol

holy shit senchou

I was addicted to spending on honkai impact 3rd i think i spent about $1,000 so i did the same thing and just stopped all together. I moved over to azur lane which is very user friendly and spending feels like something you do to say thanks to the developers. 1 year of honkai = $1000, 3 years of azur lane = 300 of money i don't miss.

the whole video: Maririn being cute af.

what's the name of the song at the end? -I can't remember it and it's driving me insane- Found it, if anyone cares it's Handel's Sarabande from Suite in D minor

well i do gacha , every month 10% of my salary fix goes to gacha 40% goes to daily life 50% for buying hololive goods

yo she sound really sad when she said that she spend 2000000 yen

6:45 been there :')

Yagoo was like Ushijima and made her work off her debt at hololive. ;)

Relatable 👀

She's a pirate and a whale at the same time

She basically a whale in gacha games

Holy shit, 2 mil yen???

I only spent 400$ on mobile games in my life

jesus, senchou wasted so much money on gacha

$18000!!!!!!!! Bro, wtf?

Everyone has their weak spot. I spent a fair amount of money on TCG, TTG, PC Games and other stuff like that. My best friend spents a good amount of her money on cosmetics and clothing. In the end you just give your body a small serotonin boost, and do feel happy.

This is why I just stick to GSSR in FGO.

The dislikes come from gacha companies it seems lmao

Gambling can become a serious problem, but in Japanese society, which is not so accustomed to socializing, it can be much worse. Socializing isn't always the solution, but it can keep your mind busy. If you only work, and you go home, and again to work, your monotonous life leads you to look for stimuli that break that, and if you don't have friends to meet, talk, and do things, it is much worse. In my country there is also gambling, but there are also many ways in which someone can be busy with more people, which can prevent you from doing those things, even if it is due to social shame.

Try getting into 20 year old Japanese sport cars. You will be poor for the rest of your life.

The real question is: THE FUCK SENCHOU GOT 2 MILLION YEN FROM!? Have that while paying living expenses takes at least 2 years! How long has senchou been stuck on gacha? I am kinda worried now... Thanks shabby for checking

ah~ the gacha life be like

Japanese culture of seeking happiness by gamble is just the worst , i know it since my japanese dad like that too until he lost his company and go bangkrup 😢

And that’s just a statement… an old one too. Who know what it was exactly and what it is now

As the 666 like I am obliged to say this... ...200万円 is amateur numbers... I spent about 40k USD in 2016 then 2017... I'll say this again like I did on stream. Don't call me out like this lol Also don't become like me. Simp responsibly.

Wait till you get a stable income. I know guys who spent thousands on that stupid clash of clans game. 20k? I'd believe it.

She did not mean the first chapter of Ushijima-kun, but any one of the chapters of Ushijima-kun.

What's unemployment benefits? :O
